BBQ catering for your event in Winnall
Some hosts in Winnall pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Popular choices include beef brisket, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and retirement do’s.
In a place like Winnall, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Questions from Winnall
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Winnall close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area

Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

For event organisers in Winnall
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
